Fly Line:We recommend either a 5 or 6 weight floating fly line for most of the rainbow and brown trout fishing. You could use a lighter weight fly line, such as a 4 weight.

Fly Rod:You would want a fly rod to handle each of the above line sizes. The four, five and six weight rods would be ideal at a length of nine feet. We recommend a medium to medium fast action.

Fly Reel:The reels for the 4, 5 and 6 weight lines should have good drags. They should be smooth and adjust to fine increments. You don't want to hook one of the Little Red River's huge trout and end up with a broken tippet because you had a less than adequate fly reel.

Leaders:You should be using at least a seven foot leader anywhere on this river. A nine foot length would probably be the best all around length. The only exception would be when you are fishing streamers. A 12 foot leader may be preferred in smooth water sections of the river. Make sure you have leaders in sizes ranging from 0X for streamers, up to 6X for small flies.

Tippet:You should also have plenty of extra tippet in sizes ranging from 0X to 6X.

Waders:Waders are necessary just about anywhere you fish the Little Red River. We prefer the breathable type but you may need neoprene waders if you are fishing during the winter.

Wading Boots:Felt soles would be our choice. The new rubber soles may work well. They have at other similar waters where we've tried them.

Wading Staff:The use of a wading staff would be an optional accessory.

Landing Net:You probably shouldn't be fishing the Little Red River without a landing net. There are some trout in the tailwater section that will make you wish you did have one.
